Get fresh, pure air

Departing from Prat Hauts, enjoy a day in the wild landscapes of Queyras, snowshoeing!
The snowshoe is perfect to discover local nature and built heritage of the Alps. At noon, your guide will find you unusual location to share a picnic in bright sunlight, around a campfire or in a montain hut to keep you warm. Slowly and one by one, each valley will reveal itself and if we're lucky some chamois or some deers will appear in the immaculate whiteness. Back in the chalet, you'll enjoy the reading salon, screenings and spa. When it comes to eat, food is generous, everything is prepared from local farm products. This a cosy journey in nature, with powder snow for everyone!
